In Guwahati, preparations are in full swing for the arrival of the late popular singer Zubeen Garg's remains on Sunday morning. The Arjun Bhogeswar Baruah sports complex is ready to host thousands of fans paying their respects to the youth icon, following his untimely demise in Singapore.
An alternate site within the complex has been prepared to accommodate mourners in case of unfavorable weather conditions.
